Ironically, I have been able to resist treats the past few days but this…

I constantly feel like I'm not working out enough. I used to exercise 7 days a week without fail but now, I just can't seem to do so. I exercise typically every other day now.

Restless on rest days
Today, I felt really tired and have decided to have an impromptu rest day. Typically, I do not take rest days in a week, even if it's a rest day, it's an active rest day where I still go for walks and such.

Eating such teeny portions of…
